What a ridiculous statement! Generals are appointed by politicians in the US. So they all kiss up to the politicians to get promoted? Can you really imagine Harris in charge of anything? She hasn’t accomplished one single thing in her short career! She has no experience and would have world warIII started within months. She would be Americas last pick! Want to get the truth about what’s going on watch FOX news and get the truth!

Her "short" career includes DA of San Francisco in 2003, Attorney General of California in 2010, Senator in 2016, Vice President in 2021.

 

It's your post that is ridiculous.

You are mistaken trump is putins greatest asset he’s worth at least 2 divisions minimum he’s also useful to anyone who wants to destroy American democracy he’s dangerous just like the general says.

I stand corrected.

 

Even a bag of hammers is dangerous when wielded by aging autocrat dreaming of reuniting a repressive empire that was never truly united except in his imperialistic wet dreams.

Yes, to say Harris doesn't have enough experience is basically racist.

Fox "News"?

That explains your deep ignorance about Harris.

Religious extremism or spreading democracy.... which has killed more in recent history?

Between trump and a bag of hammers, trump is clearly more intelligent; but only because he can move his lips. He's actually significantly less useful however.

Most educated people know Trump for what he is. His talent lies in appealing to a socio-economic group with a sense of grievance, who want to belong. In effect, it's the personality cult of Trump, just like there has been with Stalin, Mao, Hitler and the Kims. He tells his followers what he knows they want to hear. Science, logic and facts are irrelevant.

 

What makes Trump so dangerous is his narcissism, which means he always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. Frequently, he's not.

If that put-down was meant to say I think I am smarter than everybody, I know I am not.

 

OTOH, I am damn sure I am smarter than you, because the bar is set so low.

You'd have to ask people in Gaza and Ukraine that question. Or  the survivors of 9/11.

Democracy is a rational choice for most people. OTOH, religion is belief in something that can't be heard, seen, or felt, which is not rational. Perhaps that's your answer.

that was not an answer to who has killed more.

No, it wasn't. It was an explanation of who IMO would be more rash with their use of nukes.

You used the qualifier "recent history". Rather slippery of you, because you know, as a killer, religion would win by a country mile through the ages.

I doubt there is an answer to the question, because it depends on who is counting, and their biases.

well, recent history meant since the invention of nukes,  but yes, religions has killed far more back then, Christianity being a main once.
as we are told by the US who want missiles next to Russia,  for defense' so why can't Iran defend itself if others can? Israel has then apparently 200, but they wont let inspector in, they do seem to be a law unto themselves.

It's called making inferences from what you post. You seem to be comfortable with Iran having nuclear-tipped missiles.

 

IIRC Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in 1994 in exchange for guarantees of national sovereignty. Russia can hardly complain if it was brought back, although I seriously doubt that would happen.

Iran should be able to defend itself like other countries, the US saying they are a threat to world peace is the literal definition of the pot calling the kettle black

Clark also addressed the potential reception of Kamala Harris as a female commander-in-chief by the US military. Asked if he thought the military was ready to accept Harris, Clark responded confidently: “Sure. There’s no problem there.”

He was doing so well till then!

 

As for the rest, he wasn't a general for nothing. Unlike most Trump haters he looks at both sides and sees the appeal Trump has. That's the sign of a good military commander. However he doesn't seem to realise that Trump was voted in to be the destroyer of Washington, not to be part of it. That's probably why most military men that experience Trump don't like him- military to the bone men can't handle chaos.

Seems that when he was in the debate room he was smarter than his opponent. Considering a lot of posters on here thought he was the veritable font of all knowledge that must be a bitter pill to swallow. Dumber than Trump- who'd have thought that!

 

I prefer narcissists to warmongers. They generally get less people killed.

AFAIK Israel is not committed to the destruction of any of its neighbors, only the terrorists they house. Hamas, al Fatah, Hezbollah etc. They are not using the nukes they have.

OTOH, Iran has repeatedly said it is committed to the destruction of the state of Israel. What will stop the religious leaders of Iran from using nukes if they get them?

Perhaps you have not absorbed the radical idea less nukes is better than more of them.

Perhaps that they realise that if they did a first strike on israel they'd become dust themselves. IMO they want the bomb as a precaution against israel nuking them. That's generally how nukes are used, as a deterrence, not as an actual weapon to be used.
